Immunity

Who am I to swallow a fly
Your thoughts or ideas
may tickle my insides
make me chuckle and think
or worse yet
it may carry a germ of insight
and afflict me with freedom
of thought and even, god forbid,
a moment of inspiration
to swallow other wriggling flies
and spindling spiders;
catchable contemplations
and the deadly disease
of knowledge.

coffee & a laptop, what other superpowers do you need?

Of the poems you will see here, some are new and some are old, some are hesitant and some bold, some even snuck up on me and took me by surprise, so treat them well with a good read and a thought or two, then leave them with a pat on the head. They deserve it, don’t you?
